Quick Facts Location, Coordinates ...

Built in 1929, Orton Memorial Laboratory was originally used as the headquarters for the Standard Pyrometric Cone Company. The company was established by the son of the founding president of the Ohio State University. The laboratory was designed by Howard Dwight Smith, the same architect who designed the Thompson Library and the Ohio Stadium. A recent rehabilitation project turned the laboratory into a modern industrial office space.[3]

Additions to the building include the west wing, added in 1956, and the east wing, added in 1962.
